Just had a good read through this Marc, some very nice progress :)

 

I've embedded all the pics so there is no need to click them and also moved it to the project section as it will be good to keep an eye on the progress of this! Just make sure you continue to upload the pics to the forum :)

Ive done a little more work on the bumper smoothing it needs a little more filler work to fill the final holes as the filler developed some air gaps which have since flaked off when sanding back, ive also reassembled most of the engine bay, it needs a good clean but its pointless doing it now as theres a whole more sanding to do on the body, so would end up minging again.

 

its getting there though I have an extra day off on Tuesday so should be able to catch up with the remaining work on the body/bumper/wings etc over the next couple of days :)

Well finally got this fitted what an utter nightmare I purchased this from a member last year knowing it was one of the slightly twisted ones ibrar (I think) did a while back, I used tiger seal to fit it but had to glue one side down the day before the other too allow me to twist it into the correct position, then weight this side down with what I had laying about in the garage, a total pain to get it too stay seated in the correct position but worth it I think.

 

Im after opinions, im not sure if I should smooth it in or to leave it as it is? let me know what you guys think, and add any pics if you've smoothed yours :)

This was also a total pain, I some will know I have the Whifbitz side exit system on the sup, so obviously the hole in the rear bumper looked stupid with no exhaust leaving the rear, so ive tried filling it with some fibre glass, being upside down it was a epic trying to find a way to hold it there while it set, it still needs smoothing and trimming back but you get the idea, Im not totally happy with this in all honesty but we'll see how it looks when its finished

Rear wiper and washer delete

 

To do this I tiger sealed some very fine mesh and then a touch of fibre glass matting on the underside of the bootlid and basically give it a quick whack of some filler still needs a quick top up, but not wanting to put too much on at once I left it down just a smidge.
